He faced the question: "What are you going to do?"Those six little words led to the organization known today as Compassion International. Seventy years later, over two million children all over the world have been sponsored through Compassion International, providing meals, education, vocational training, Bibles, letters of support, and more.We are often faced with the same question. And, like Swanson, we feel inadequate, afraid, or ill-equipped. Readers will see how small faithful choices can lead to larger ones--and in so doing, change the world for generations to come.
